Visual Fragments

Thomas Gkikas, Xenofon Kekkos

Flow is the sequence, a number of elements, in which there is continuous movement of one behind or next to another or their switching. Figuratively speaking flow is also meant as the process, the evolution, the continuity.
We started our project along the walls of Athens over time. Historically, they were built during the Peloponnesian War and had defensive character.
We based our research on Themistoclean Wall as it was the most important and the longest fortification of the city over the years, until in 1833 that it was destroyed and since then the city did not acquire new wall.
We focused on the gates of this period and we defined them. "Gate is large in size door in the walled city entry" but also a "gateway" in time. The flows are represented in the form of "stories" in retrospect from antiquity until today. They refer to events or myths and make a different picture than what meets the city's traveller today.
